President Cleveland On
Mixed Schools.

Mr. G.. "a. Sullivan, editor Of the
Montgomery (Va.) Democrat, re-
Gently wrote to President Clc>c.
land inquiring in regard to trnth
OF report that Mr. Cleveland,
while Governor Of New York, an.
proved bill authorizing mixed
schools in that state, In replying
TO MIR Sullivan's inquiry, President
Cleveland writes: "The only bill
that know Of being passed and
approved on that subject, while
was Governor, was one affecting
the city Of New York, and had pro.
ciSely the contrary off. ct--that is
the purpose and object was to re-
tain the colorcd schools scperato
and distinct from those for tho
whites. Mr. Nelson j. Waterbury,
Of New York city, 1 think, drew
the bill, and Professor Rasin, SUI
perintcndcnt of colorcd schools,
and Rev. Mr. Derrick, both Of New
York city, advocated it strongly
The school Board of New York city
had Determined to consolidate
their schools Vi 18th the white schools.
and the bill took it out Of the con-
troll of the Board, SO that it should
no be done. 1t was strongly urg-
ed before INC that separate schools
were of much more benefit to the
colored people than mixed schools
approved the bill, and | suppose
in the city of New York cOlOred
schools arc separately maintained
to-day by virtue Gifts provisions. +;
have trus given you all l remem-
Der on the subject Of your inquiry

hearing before the receipt of your
letter that this matter has boon SO
grossly misrcprcsented."

PILES UPON PILES OF BURN-
Ed BODIES.

During a performance in the The
atrc Royal ut EXter London, the
building caught fire, and owing to
and the rush to greater part OF the
audience persisted with the bull
ding. A scene Shiftcr says that
the fire originated among some
cause, which in some way became
ignited. The flames spread to the
scenery, of which the stage was un-
usually full owing to preparation
for the productionsof ~ pantomime.
The audience numbered 800 per-
sons.
In the rush the ticket box was
upset at the gallery exit, and this
was the of Il blockade at that
point. The remains of nearly Gfty
persons ere found there. 1t Is
impossible to ascertain the exact
number buried as many of the la
dies were completely calcined. Two
stalls of the stable belonging to the
hotel adjacent to the threatrc, arc
filed with remains that it is impos-
sible to identify. Many are burnt
into cindcrs.
The stairway leading to the gall
lcry vas packed with bodies. while
ut the head OF the stairs were scores
OF others piled on top Of the other.
The charred remains of twenty
persons were found in one heap. a
father, mother and child were
found clasped In one embrace.
Many Of the limbs arc missing
from some OF the bodies, and the
remains show that they had been
wrenched off. In many cases faith
ers and mothers both persisted and
numerous children are left without
means Of support.

The Palous News says: There is a
furry to the south and east Of us since
Grover, the Queen, has vetoed or muir
dered the annexation bill. The PROPOSE.
ton is to cut loose from everybody and
form new territory this side Of the
Columbia river, dipping deeper into
Idaho, etc. We object. TIE geography
will appear as it should, SO soon as the
pan handle is annexed. As to giving the
capital to Spokane, We are perfectly will.
ing, bnt believe that Old Yakima is near
er the proper place. No; we object to
dipping deeper into Idaho, as that
would bring the same barrier into play
that gives just cause to the panhandle to
want segregation. As to cutting loose
from the Sound, We are again opposed.
We don't believe in river boundary lines
for counties, states or anything else,
when we can have an ocean.
We have no knowledge that any such
sentiment has reached as far south as
the Moscow mountain.

The Palouse Boomerang says: The
Mormon end OF Idaho holds the balances,
IL seems, in which the president has
weighed the bill to liberate the four
Northern counties. Only think of it,
tho governor of Idaho tells the president
not to sign the bill, and it has more
weight than the voice Of all the inhabi
tants of the four counties Of Idaho and
Of Washington Territory. There is q
terrible retribution awaiting some one.
This matter will be siited until the public
will know who the double dyed rascals
are that have carried out this, the most
outrageous insult to a community Of
American citizens, in the nineteenth
century. We are satisfied that the
telegram from the governor Of Idaho had
nothing to do in the matter. That is
merely sham excuse.
Several late born infants in this CON-
munity, who have had the name Of
"Grover" forced upon them under cir.

troll, are kicking off their swaddliug
clothes and demanding change in their
front names.

A RICHNESS PROJECT AND CON
CEIvED By A THoUGHTLES6
BRAIN

We have been Informed that some one
has hastily suggested new territory, to
be formed by taking all North Idaho
and Washington that lies north of Snake
river to the British line and east Of the
Columbia and Okinagan rivers to the
Montana line, and that petition is in
circulation to that effect. Who suggest
ed this move and what object is sought
by the move we know not. Certain it is
that, move of that kind at this juncturc
of affairs, could not hope to succeed,
because it would diminish the chances Of
Washington soon becoming state, by
diminishing not only her territory but
also her population, and hence would
antagonist all the rest Of Washington. II
would be as Objectionable to South Idaho
as it would be as firmly detached North
Idaho from the Southern portion as to
annex it to Washington as she now is,
and render neither the new territory nor
Washington as near to statehood as they
how arc. It would cut off the new terri
tory from any sea board and become
entirely an inland government, depen-
dant upon the whims and policy Of a
neighboring government for all maratime
advantages. Il would rctard our growth
and prosperity and make us as insiguifi
cient in the estimation OF our associate
states and territories as North Idaho
now is. 1t would make us enemies OF
all the balance Of Washington, who now
with great unamity, have become well
recopciled and earnest for North Idahc
annexation. It would antagonist the
members Of congress, who are opposed tc
dividing up territory into small division.
tor the purpose Of forming new states or
this western coast. The project for an
nexation of North Idaho to Washington
and South Idaho to Nevada aud aban
doning idaho, has much more feasible
chances Of winning.

THE SENTIMENT OF THE PRESS
OF NORTH IDAHO AND EAST
ERN WA8HlNGTON Elk.
PRESSED on THE VETO
OF THE ANNEXATION
BILL,

Up to the present time among all
our exchanges from North Idaho and
Eastern Washington, which we have
received, not one can be found that
endorses the action Of the president 10
refusing to sign the bill for annexation Of
North idaho to Washington Territory,
but they all condemn that refusal.
Some in the tone of bitter denunciation
and some in milder terms Of disapproval,
but all expressive Of both surprise, dis
appointment End chaSrin. The ex-
changes we have received from North
Idaho, since tho veto, are the Nee
Perce NeUs, the Moscow Mirror the
Kootcnas Courier and those from
Eastern Washington arc the Washington
Independent, the East Vashingtonian
the Commoner, the Gazette, the Palouse
Necs, the boomerang, the Journal and
Onion Of Walla Walla. Six OF these
journals are outspoken democratic jour
nails and the others are either outspoken
republican papers or have no political
leaning towards either party, but conGne
themselves to tho general development
Of their particular localities. But the
whole may well be taken as reflex OF
the wish and will Of the people, and al
most the whole people Of the localities
where published upon this question Of the
union Of North Idaho with Washington
Territory. The chagrin Of the TELLER,
which was always SO pronounced in favor
Of this annexation, need not be stated,
because language is not adequate to give
force to the mingled feelings Of chagrin
and disappointment it experienced on
receiving the dispatch on the 9Th Of
March, from delegate Voorhees,, to the
effect that the president had pocket
vetoed the bill and declined to make it a
law BY bis signature, and later when We
learned that the president gave to mem.
bcrs Of the Senate, and others who were
urging his signature, no other reason
than that tho. governor Of Idaho protest.
ed against his signing the bill, we were
dumb with astonishment, that the great
head Of great nation had no other
reason to assign for the exercise Of the
veto power, against the will of 100000
people in Idaho and Washington. who
we're directly interested and had often
made manifest their intense interest by
their votes, and against the almost united
voice Of the members Of both House and
Senate. We then thought that the
governors protest must have reached
him in m unpropitious hour, when he
was weak and unguarded, as much so as
he was when that Buffalo widow met him
in his earlier days, and like DeliaA Of old
robbed him Of his locks. We had long
hoped that ho had recovered from that
weakness, and imbecilc state of mind.
But il would appear that strong relic
ct that weakness still fingers in his sys-
tenn, and not only we Of the North. Idaho
and Washington, must experience its
effect. but the friends Of the carly i'm.
provsment Of the Columbia and Snake
river, are equally placed hors du combat
and compelled to rcmount and renew the
charge.
